lemonade out of lemons, right?

Our rat issue has gotten worse. Yesterday when I woke up I found that the lid to our trashcan had been chewed on. Indifferent Today maintenance gave me 2 rat traps to set out to try and catch them. And a few min ago I went to sit on our couch and found that the back cushion had been chewed on too and now has a big whole. But since H and I will most likely both be moving out of the apartment, at least this gives us a good reason to break the lease. I also think the health department will be getting a call soon. Indifferent

I love my crazy child!

Re: lemonade out of lemons, right?

  • Yuck. Definitely call the health dept. You've had to deal with that long enough. Do have an idea when you'll be moving in with your Dad?

  • We talked tonight about by the end of June. That gives us a month to sort through everything. Setting a date kinda made me feel sad even though I know the separation is for the best.

  • I can only imagine how sad & difficult it must be. Long distance hugs for you. I'm happy to hear you both are still talking it through. June seems like a good time. Does Aiden start school next year?

  • No, but hopefully I can get him in daycare so I can still go to school. I have so much to sort through and work out before summer is over. It is very overwhelming!

  • Oh never mind, I thought he was four. What did you usually do with Aiden when you were in school? Does your Dad still work?

  • H watches him since he works 2nd shift and my classes are in the mornings. And my dad works so he can't watch him. But at least I have until the end of august to figure it all out! ugh

  • You don't think your H would still want to watch him? Does your Dad live far away from where you are now?

  • Oh my god, Liz, I had no idea the rat problem had gotten that bad.  You definitely need to break your lease and get out of that place.  It sounds like everything is aligning to make the separation as smooth as it can be given the circumstances.  You know we all wish you the best and hope that everything works out.  I am remembering right that you have one year left in school?  Hang in there for Aiden, you've come so far and stayed so strong already!

    My dad lives about an hour away. He may be able to help watch him but I'm not sure what my school schedule will be like yet

    Yep, I will graduate next May! Can't wait! 

    Our Apt complex keeps trying to get rid of the rats but nothing is working. They have plugged holes, put poison, and put some repellent too. And I know our neighbors are having issues as well. I think it might be a bigger issue than just one rat getting in. H hasn't even let Aiden sleep in his room for a while bc he is paranoid about rats getting in his room (But I don't really mind bc I love snuggling him at night).

    Yay- one year to go!  Are you studying education?

    It sounds like your complex needs to tent the whole building.  I'm sure they don't want to do that because it would probably cost a fortune, but it sounds like the problem is out of control.

  • I wish I had your positivity, Liz. I admire that about you. :) If I were closer to you I would offer to watch Aiden for you in the mornings. 

  • OMG I am so sorry!  I would definitely call the health department!
